Part of the package of extra goodies you’ll get from us when you support us https://unbound.co.uk/books/riddle-of-the-sands (pledge £25 for the Handbook Edition of ‘The Riddle of the Sands’ today!), will be a Field AudioBook: a complete reading of the book, recorded in exactly the right places at precisely the right dates - and enhanced by the addition of local ambient sounds and field recordings.

‘What will that sound like?’ I hear you ask. Well, now you can find out. We’re giving all our existing supporters on Unbound access to Field Audiobook sample files describing the events and conversations of October 2 and October 3.

To entice you into becoming a supporter on https://unbound.co.uk/books/riddle-of-the-sands, here’s a short sample of what you can expect to hear in full after you’ve pledged your support.
